The author has no time for detailed character development, wordy extravagant descriptions or lengthy 'back story'.
Every word has to count, because less face it, every word adds to the count!
The plot unfolds during a vicious, growling Hurricane inside a claustrophobic and battered house.
The house acts both as a shelter for three frightened men, and a cauldron in which Waters mixes up her potion of suspicion, terror and nerves stretched taut.
I can reveal nothing more about the plot itself, spoilers in the 'Short Story' world have to be a no no!
I can say however, that as a work of art, 'Blow' is worth the investment of any readers time, ticking as it does the three essential boxes of Short Story Excellence: Plot, Tension and Punch!
If you need a brief and powerful respite from the everyday, then 'Blow' is your medicine; I know it has inspired me to check out more work by this talented author.

As always, Happy reading:)
